Our story
From Maliya to the metro
Two dreamers, one brick oven and a belief that vegetarian pizza deserves the very best ingredients and craft.
Who we are
Pizza traditions from the whole world
Pizzaiiolo is more than a pizza brand. It’s a story of innovation, hard work and an unyielding passion for perfection.
It began with a small, family-run pizzeria in Maliya and a burning love for authentic Italian pizza. As word spread about our wood-fired pies, we grew carefully, city by city, investing in authentic ovens and training every team in traditional pizza-making. Today the aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the streets of Ahmedabad and beyond.

Our journey
A dream, slow-proofed.
Humble roots in Maliya
A small, family-owned pizzeria with a handful of dedicated people and one focus: exceptional pizza using traditional techniques.
Growing, carefully
Demand spread to neighbouring towns. Every new outlet had to match the original, so we invested in authentic ovens and in training.
A metro-city presence
Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, Pune, Sonipat and more, without compromising on ingredients, technique or service.
What’s next
Bengaluru, Jaipur, Udaipur, Indore, Mumbai and Delhi. Our vision: the most trusted name in wood-fired pizza across India.
